Then get a RT on Day 2 to compete with Carman for RT snaps while Collins recovers.
Alternatively, you can go Darnell Wright in Rd 1 and then look for a TE on Day 2, but you run more risk of not being able to get a TE who can't start as well the longer you wait.
There's also CB to worry about though, as there's no great CB4 on the roster and Awuzie is in recovery. It'd be real nice to have an early-round pick at CB who can be groomed at CB4 but also give hope of playing well if they had to fill in due to any injury.
Im really not sure how much a good run blocking tight end actually improves the run game. I know it does, but just not by how much.
and I do believe Mixon deserves a bunch of blame for the run game being bad. Cappa, Collins, and Karras were all better run blockers than the guys that were there in 2021, and the run game was worse.
